Urban Greek

Hobart


Fancy Mediterranean offerings in a former garage fitted out with bent copper lighting conduits, a timber bar, polished concrete floors and an intimidating Minotaur etched into the copper-plate wall. Expect generous Greek classics done to perfection (moussaka, saganaki, charcoal-grilled octopus), family-style hospitality and imported Greek beers and wines.
